My journey...

Hi, I’m a Los Angeles based photographer, artist, and designer.

 

I studied Illustration and Fine Art at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. It was there that my fusion of art and photography began and evolved into a life-long passion. 

 

Over the past 30 years my journey has included work in art, design, photography, video, and editing. I’ve had illustrations published in SPIN Magazine and an LA Times magazine. I’ve designed numerous projects including educational games. packaging designs, websites, movie posters and more. I shot and edited an indie TV pilot, worked as a commercial editor, and shot weddings on weekends. I also spent 17 years at Princess Cruises as their Web User Experience and Design Lead and love designing things that improve peoples lives (even in simple ways). 

 

But at my core has always been a passion for photography and art.  

 

For me, photography is about capturing beauty in a fleeting moment, telling stories, and inviting others to see the world through different eyes. It augments our memories and allows us to revisit deeply personal and important moments in our lives.

 

As the world becomes more digital, more AI generated, and less certain, the things that matter, more than ever, are real people, real places, and authentic moments.
